I noticed that you first filed the ITP in June.  Since then, we have had a 
python transition to 2.4 and there is a new standard for python packaging. 
Th python2.X-package type packages are no longer the norm.  You will need 
to convert your package to either python-central or python-support.

Please see the new python policy

http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/

and examples of how to do it:

Cheers,

Carlo
